St. Joseph's Day
St. Joseph's Day is celebrated on March 19 each year in honor of Saint Joseph, the husband of Mary and the earthly father of Jesus. This day is particularly significant in Christian traditions, especially among Catholics and Orthodox Christians. It is a time to recognize the virtues of Saint Joseph, such as humility, hard work, and fatherly love.
In many cultures, especially in Italy and Spain, St. Joseph's Day is marked by special meals, parades, and religious ceremonies. In some regions, people create elaborate altars adorned with flowers, candles, and food offerings. Traditional foods, like zeppole and sfinge, are often enjoyed as part of the celebration.
